Washington, DC -- Barack Obama has named the lawyer who represented Terri Schiavos husband Michael in his efforts to kill his disabled wife as the third highest attorney in the Justice Department. Thomas Perrelli, who won an award for representing Schiavo's former husband, had severed on Obama's transition team.

It made my heart physically hurt when I read that. Next he should appoint the lawyers of that guy in San Diego who raped and murdered that little girl. The guy confessed to his lawyers that he did it but they went ahead and defended him like he was innocent and even tried to blame the parents (who were partly to blame, by the way)

I knew that Obama was a bad man but he’s showing himself to be truly evil. The Culture of Death is spreading. How can we expect God to look on our nation favorably when our highest elected officials embrace such wickedness?

This must be a truly difficult day for Terri’s family. I’ll say a prayer for them.

(All our promises and resolutions end in denial because we have no power to accomplish them.)

Not unless the people repent. Those who voted for him at my job are still unbelievably giddy about him. He is a total con, and this appointment is a foreshadow of the death to come to the innocent. A total abomination.

Maybe what made Terri Schiavo’s case so stark was that instead of an invisible murder carried out in a womb, we saw a living adult human being deliberately being starved to death under specific judicial sanction. It came home to me that none of us is safe.

I realize it is such a daily observation here that it becomes cliche, but it needs to be repeated - for most of america, the network and print media CONTROL THE MESSAGE.

They control the amount of coverage any topic or person gets, the slant/bias given to it, they can elevate a literal nobody to the level of presidential nominee (and actually elect him) while elevating an opposing candidate whose unpopularity in his own party was probably his biggest draw for them.

They can also just ignore someone, or only report on them in a negative or deprecating way (ron paul? his coverage was abysmal.) They could have won him the gop nomination if they had so wanted, I bet, such is their influence over public opinion.

Why is the GOP timid and the DNC brazen in so many categories? Because the GOP members know they will probably be crucified publicly, and the DNC know the item will not be widely reported if at all outside of talk radio.

Unfortunately, they control congress and the white house in 2 weeks, there are literally trillions of dollars to be stolen from the treasury this year, and this is their hour.

Dr Gupta is actually a board certified neurosurgeon (practicing) who is also an assistant prof at emory university and was an associate chief of nuerosurgery at an atlanta hospital. He is no “TV doc”. I am not sure if he will make a good surgeon general or not. I dont know why he would even consider such a beuracratic govt job when he can practice what he trained for and is purportedly very good at.

I read a prophecy someone gave (I don’t recall who) that if Terri were allowed to die, that we would have a spirit of death come upon our country and that many, many more deaths would take place due to violence, attacks on our country, etc. I pray not, but it looks like it’s coming to pass. God hates seeing the innocent slaughtered and will not stand for it.

And especially those Christians who should have known better and voted for him. Three of my born again classmates whom I love voted for this animal. I spoke up to one of them and I’m afraid I may have lost his friendship. How can a Christian vote for death?
